BillsMafia828 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 As a resident in Montgomery County I have to tell you he must have been driving REALLY bad to get a complaint! It's common to drive 85-90 MPH on I45 with Constables on the shoulder. Very rarely does someone get pulled over for a traffic violation, it slows traffic.

As a dude who drove a trailer, although bigger, Driving through construction with out a shoulder and with a median and cones can be a pain and I’d swap lanes all the time at night if there isn’t much traffic.

I just wonder if sometimes the publicity can work against a guy like Oliver, with a DA who doesn’t want to be seen rolling over for the rich and famous. They have to be careful anyway Montgomery PD has a long list of corruption. I am not saying this is that. But I can see the DA saying Ok let’s make this plea and have this all go away instead of having the light turned on this PD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally have all the pieces and this has to happen. SMH I never liked the pick from the start, I always thought he was too small and we saw him get dominated by bigger guys. This only makes things worse and within the same week of the Sammy story coming out. For the record I would have preferred Bills taking WR Metcalf in that draft, guys like him don't have time for getting smashed because their watching what the eat and working out/ gym rats. Let's hope he has a Bruce Smith moment and realizes this is not college football, you need to be committed to working hard if you want to be great in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy made a mistake. It's not an indictment on his character. It's mistake. I saw a post where first time DWI offenders get 2 games. Both charges (DWI and Weapon) are misdemeanors. On the video, he looked to be compliant. He'll hire a good lawyer and they'll take care of him I'm sure when its all said and done Ed will learn from this and move on. He'll realize that things could have been alot worse, and to not take for granted the gift God and the universe has given him in the game of football. Other than that, all of the crazy talk from all the perfect people on this board commenting as if they've never made a mistake is hypocritical.

Sharky7337 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 PER ESPN: Police were alerted to Oliver's driving by a 911 call from another motorist, who reported a Ford Super Duty pickup hauling a trailer with a dune buggy on it through a 45 mph construction zone on State Highway 242, according to MontgomeryCountyPoliceReporter.com. The 911 caller noted that Oliver was "failing to maintain a lane and driving dangerously," according to the report. .......... Not smart. If your having issues driving straight after drinking, pull over and get out and call a cab. or a friend. Or shoot sleep in a bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I mean I definitely got pulled over a few times when I was younger not as sober as I should have been, but I was also poor and had I had the status and money he has, prob be a different story. Especially with today's Uber and Lyft. It is so much more accessible not to take chances. The mistake is not a concern for his age.

Thurman#1 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 2 hours ago, MAJBobby said: Only if the DWI isn’t pled out. The suspension for it is very clear. You have to be found liable of the DWI or DUI. I'm no expert, so this isn't an argument, it's a question. If you have to be found guilty of the DWI or DUI, how come PJ Williams, arrested for driving drunk and careless driving in New Orleans on 1/23/2019, pleaded down to "reckless driving" and was suspended for three games. Same question for Kareem Jackson arrested on 9/19/2019 for DUI in Denver pleaded down to one count of driving while alcohol impaired and was suspended for two games? Or Willie Snead, arrested for DUI on 6/11/2017 given a diversion program and counseling and suspended three games https://www.tsn.ca/broncos-safety-kareem-jackson-suspended-final-2-games-by-nfl-1.1414738 https://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/arrests/ https://www.nola.com/sports/saints/article_0929b8ac-17a2-5eef-bdc2-28c32cf39cb4.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 NFL wise, It just a matter of when and for how many games he is suspended. I take an early guess of 4 games knocked down to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Well the good news is if he’s suspended we only need to replace 54% of defensive snaps for those games.
